Calgary scores six power-play goals as Hitmen beat Blades 6-1

The Calgary Hitmen tied a franchise record with six power-play goals en route to a 6-1 win over the Saskatoon Blades in Western Hockey League play Sunday afternoon.

Michael Stone and Joel Broda led the attack with two goals each for the Hitmen, who won their sixth in a row.

Calgary went 6-for-8 with the man advantage, while Saskatoon scored once on six power-play opportunities.

Although Martin Jones saw his impressive shutout streak end at 187 minutes 59 seconds when Acolatse scored at 2:21 of the first period, the Calgary goalie finished the game with 27 saves to record his 34th win of the campaign.

Adam Morrison started in net for Saskatoon and stopped 15 of 20 shots he faced through two periods of action before Steven Stanford made 12 saves in a relief appearance in the third.

Vancouver goaltender Mark Segal didn't have to work too hard for the shutout, stopping 18 shots.

The Bruins (30-31-6) goalies didn't have it so lucky. Lucas Gore started, letting in four goals on 13 shots, but was pulled in favour of Braden Gamble, who saw just two shots from the Giants in the third period but let in both of them.

Tyler Bunz made 23 saves in goal for the Tigers. Cam Lanigan turned away 11 of 15 shots in net for the Oil Kings before being pulled in the second period. Torrie Jung turned away 11 of 12 shots in relief.

With the win, the Tigers improved to 39-23-8 to sit fourth in the Eastern Conference
